Adjustable Multipurpose Holder

Abstract

A multipurpose holder designed for books, electronic devices, and fine art. It is comprised of a solid back and durable base that can support large items. An adjustable rear back support is held in place by an oval-shaped ring and tightened with screws. A rear back support allows for inclination of the multipurpose holder. Two feet provide stabilization. Two hinges hold a magnetic swinging visor in place and the visor can be placed in the upward or the downward position. When the visor is in the downward position, a built-in storage embodiment is easily accessible. The storage embodiment has an exterior box and interior compartment. There are hooks at the back and magnetic components at the front to allow for the attachment of accessories. It is light in weight and has handles that make it easy to carry.

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims the benefit of PPA Ser. Nr. 62 / 577,528, filed Oct. 26, 2017, which is incorporated by reference.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION1. Field of the Invention[0002]This application relates to book holders with an adjustable inclination and folding sheet retainer, containing housing for components.2. Discussion of the State of the Art[0003]Originally book holder or book stand devices were provided for readers to use for specific, individual purposes. Some use cookbook stands while cooking for easy viewing without using their hands to hold the book. Others prefer an upright ergonomically correct device to read comfortably without eyestrain or neck discomfort, as opposed to placing the book on a flat surface to read with the head bent downward for long hours at a time.

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The patent is for a portable embodiment with rounded handles and a wide platform for displays and books. It is designed to be durable, simple, and attractive, without sacrificing lightness for strength. The patent describes a prototype that demonstrates its usability and outlines future designs with different visual effects.

Problems solved by technology

I have found that tab-like support members are complex and difficult to assemble.

I have found that rigid U-shaped arm designs are difficult to maneuver.

I have found that a smaller shelf cannot support large items.

I have found that such a design is limited when used for purposes other than electronic devices.

I have found that small support flaps appear flimsy.

I have found that bottom up folding devices are not as structurally sound as devices that fold from the top down.

I have found that fixed page retainers obstruct a portion of the visual display.

It also makes it difficult to turn the pages of a book.
